Starting the New Year right!

This is something I will do this year.  I love to be able to keep all of you updated through out our life.  Abbott has been better, a week before Christmas we found out that the cancer he had called AT/RT has come back and that he doesn't just have one tumor growing but he has 11 tumors growing all over his head.  It was definitely devastating news to find out especially before Christmas.  He has started his treatment that we were doing again but going three times a week and then doubling the dose.  It makes him quite tired but he is making it through.  Although just 2 weeks ago we had to rush him into emergency surgery to have a shunt put into his brain.  I never thought that once again I would be praying for life for my child to stay here on this earth.  But again God preformed miracles that we can't fathom on Abbott.  The good thing about this was finding out that the reason we had to have the surgery was because the tumors are dieing and it is causing the brain to swell and cause inflammation.  So yeah tumors are dissipating!!  On the other side though it has made Abbott very weak, he hasn't been able to bear any weight on his legs for about 3 weeks now and is having a hard time holding his head up.  But our faith is in the Lord and he shall deliver Abbott of these tumors and of cancer for the rest of his days.  I thank God everyday that he has placed Abbott into our lives, we are the only parents for him and to me that is great.  Well my little boy is siting in my lap and ready to go to bed AGAIN so goodnight.
